December Daily® 2023 | Story 18

Welcome to Story 18 in my 2023 December Daily® album.

Today is a simple story about early mornings with Betty illustrated by a full page photo, text inside a circle, and a felt title with gold puffy numbers on top.

Here's the video:

Today's Table Of Contents:

I'm so glad I went with the varying pen widths for the Table Of Contents. I really like how that turned out.

Full page photo turned black + white measures 11 inches x 8.25 inches. On top I'm using one of the circles from the Die Cut Bundle this year as a home for my journaling.

The red felt with the hand stitched joy was something I did a few months ago when I was starting to get excited about the upcoming season. It's been sitting on my table patiently waiting to support a story this month.

I ended up cutting a piece of pattern transparency to the same size as the journaling circle and then temporarily adhering the felt piece to it before I ran it through the sewing machine.

To add my story I used the Maco Sticker Paper again. It works so good!

Text inside a circle tutorial can be found here.

I used a gold brad to attach the trasnparent/felt piece which turns it into an interactive element to reveal the journaling underneath.

Puffy numbers from the Main Kit were added on top for the story number.
